The Dallas Cowboys can’t spend too long celebrating Sunday night’s momentous win over the Philadelphia Eagles. Another difficult opponent awaits in the Buffalo Bills.
Buffalo also scored a huge Week 14 triumph when defeating the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead. The Bills have underperformed expectations this season, but Jerry Jones isn’t taking the 7-6 squad lightly.
“They’re a dangerous team,” Jones told 105.3 The Fan on Tuesday morning, via ESPN’s Todd Archer. “At any given time, they can be as good as anybody in the NFL, in my mind. They got the players. They’ve got the quarterback. They’re just a good team.”

Jones also praised Bills fans for creating a powerful home-field advantage. The Bills are 5-1 at Highmark Stadium this season.
Despite their struggles, the Bills still look like one of the NFL’s premier teams.
Dallas is one of just four teams with a higher point differential than Buffalo’s +104. Sean McDermott’s team has suffered close losses to the Eagles, Jacksonville Jaguars (at London), and Joe Burrow’s Cincinnati Bengals outside of Buffalo this season.
The Bills rank fifth in total offense and are third in ESPN’s Football Power Index behind the San Francisco 49ers and Cowboys.
After keeping their playoff hopes alive with a dramatic win at Kansas City, the Bills watched their AFC East window creak open when the Miami Dolphins lost to the Tennessee Titans on Monday night. Buffalo is two games behind in the division and has an opportunity to beat Miami for the second time in Week 18.
The Bills opened as 2.5-point favorites to beat the Cowboys, who have outscored opponents by 116 points during an ongoing five-game winning streak. Dak Prescott has another chance to make his MVP case by leading the league’s top-ranked scoring unit to a pivotal road win to keep pace with Philadelphia atop the NFC East.
